The existence of a trillionaire while millions of Americans go hungry is a moral failing.
Rather than providing more tax breaks and subsidies to the ultra-wealthy, Congress should be investing in healthcare, education, and job training for working-class families.

Elon Musk is officially the world’s first trillionaire after SpaceX went public.
$1 trillion is such a large number and so far beyond the human imagination that we can’t wrap our minds around it. So let’s make it possible—by stacking pennies.

As working-class families continue to struggle with the cost-of-living crisis, it is important that Congress pass historic, bipartisan housing legislation that will lower housing costs nationwide.
We have a bill to do just that. More here:

10 years ago, 49 innocent lives were stolen during a mass shooting at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando.
Today, we honor their memories by condemning hate in all forms and continuing the push for gun safety solutions that will keep our communities safe.

Because Republicans in Congress refused to shut down this slush fund, the administration continues to move forward with their attempt to steal $1.8 BILLION from American taxpayers to reward individuals that attacked police officers.
It’s beyond shameful.

SCOOP: Despite insisting that a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund has been scrapped, the administration is quietly assuring allies that payout plans remain on track, @S_Fitzpatrick reports.

During Gun Violence Awareness Month, we remember the lives taken by gun violence and recognize the families and communities forever changed by it.
Proud to stand with @HouseDemocrats as we remain committed to advancing gun safety solutions that save lives and keep our communities safe.

The administration’s attempts to cover up the Epstein Files—which mention the president over and over again—are deeply disturbing and historically corrupt.
The American people deserve transparency and justice.

The president may have doubled his net worth since returning to office—but American families are falling further and further behind because of his disastrous war and failed economic policies.
They deserve so much better.

Inflation has overtaken wages for the first time in 3 years.
That means Americans’ incomes are shrinking in real terms, largely because of the Iran war.

“Prices have soared in particular on a lot of things Americans buy every day, including coffee, lettuce and more.”
American families continue to pay the price for Republicans’ disastrous war in the Middle East.

From the cost of the gasoline you need to fill up your tank to the groceries you need to feed your family, the president’s disastrous war in the Middle East and Republicans failed economic policies are making life harder for the American people.

Rather than investing in housing, health care, or child care to lower costs for American families, Republicans are working to spend another $70 billion in taxpayer funding to support the administration’s extreme policies.

As inflation surges due to the president’s disastrous war in the Middle East, wages are not keeping up with skyrocketing costs.
It means hardworking families are falling further and further behind.
They deserve better.

Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains.
Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year
Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year.
Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class and lower-income households. It's tough because so many basic items are seeing sizable price increases: gas, electricity, food, medical care.

The President can try to rewrite history, but Americans remember the promise: ‘No new wars.’

President Donald Trump is dismissing the idea that launching the war with Iran betrayed his refrain of "No new wars" as he campaigned for the White House in 2024. apnews.com/article/trump-ira…

Does this look like an agency that needs $70 billion more taxpayer dollars and even less accountability?
If an agency cannot uphold basic human dignity, Congress shouldn’t be rewarding it with a $70 billion blank check.

Hundreds of detainees across at least 33 states allege in federal lawsuits that immigration detention facilities are failing to provide adequate medical care, an investigation by KFF Health News and The Associated Press exposes. Detainees say they didn’t get medications on time — or at all — for conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, epilepsy, Parkinson’s and HIV. @KFFHealthNews
